Master Project Controls in 32 Minutes

Tim Fairley explains project controls for construction PMs covering cost, schedule, scope, quality, and risk tracking using integrated WBS, baselines, and performance indices. FREE Project Controls Dashboard: https://www.mastt.com/resources/proje... Tim Fairley walks through the five domains of project controls, how to set up cost baselines and schedule baselines using an integrated work breakdown structure, and how to measure progress using production-driven and milestone-driven systems. You will also learn how to calculate schedule performance index and cost performance index, interpret a project controls dashboard, and take corrective action that targets root causes before problems compound. Topics include scope change control, variation tracking, RFI management, quality inspection and test plans, risk registers, earned value analysis, and S-curve cash flow reporting across capital construction projects.
